I am posting this mail about organic tobacco for silverwolf who currently has no access to the internet:

Dear Gerard,

Thank you for your nice e-mail. Please apologize the late reply, we havetried to get one issue of the "Independent" first and we succeeded! We wherevery happy and impressed so far, to read the article and your interview. Alittle "thank you envelope" will arrive with royal mail soon.

The Natural American Spirit "Organic" is available in the USA and in Japanonly and it is certified organic tobacco. In October 2002, the USDA adopteda set of standards called the National Organic Program (NOP). Now, to makean organic claim, farm producers and manufacturers along with allcontractors must be certified and inspected annually by an inspectorregistered with the NOP. Our tobacco meets the strict guidelines set up tobe certified organic.

Besides offering superb quality to consumers, organic tobacco has provided afinancial boost to many small farmers. Our American partners, the Santa FeNatural Tobacco Company Inc. began contracting directly with farmers inKentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and in Ohio.In order to attract quality growers, Natural American Spirit USA pays twicethe market price for certified organic flue-cured and Burley tobacco ascompared to conventional tobacco.

The tobacco that we use for all other NAS products is "pesticide residueclean" which means that after harvesting and drying the tobacco leafs, theresults of a chemical analysis show that there is no residue of fertilizersor pesticides in the tobacco used for our products. Maybe this isinteresting to you.

At present we do not have concrete plans for an introduction of the NaturalAmerican Spirit "Organic" in Europe. Naturally this product fits perfectlyinto our companies philosophy and we can assure you that someday we will beable to offer the "Organic" in Europe, too.

We would be glad to keep you on file to send you an e-mail as soon as wehave further information in this matter.

You bet it's "interesting to me". I believe we have a right to be able to smoke the "cleanest" tobacco possible. Such a dangerous substance as tobacco/nicotine should only be prepared under the strictest conditions with great reverence for the "Spirit" of the plant. If you are interested in putting pressure on "The Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company" to make it's "Organic" product available here in Europe please email them at contact@americanspirit-europe.com and mention (if you like) that you have seen a copy of their letter to me.

best wishes all for the Festive Season

Well they supply enough for America and Japan ! We need to worry about what goes on to the plant before it's harvested as well as afterwards!
